What can go wrong WILL go wrong!

Have you ever had one of those weeks where just nothing goes right? I've just had one. From the very first day back after our holiday there has been irritation after irritation.

First off Hubby gets a letter from his bosses saying that they had lost the contract. He is going to have to TUPE over to the new company if he wants to keep his job. This company only lasted on the contract for a YEAR! It's not the end of the world by any means but it is a massive hassle!

Meantime, I'm at work and there's no access to the emails. Our freelance IT guy is off doing his other job (somewhere far flung and out at sea) and does his best to resolve it but we're the best part of the day with out email which - for me and just about everyone else in our office - massively reduces the amount of work we can actually do.

On my day off I go out with the kids and meet up with some girlfriends and their kids only for one of the ADULTS to have a massive tantrum and strop off we because we didn't want to do exactly what she wanted to do. Embarrassing and a tad stressful!

Back to work and guess what... NO INTERNET! It takes till gone 1pm to get it running again and even when it does, the email has gone on the fritz again. I almost had a tantrum of my own (although mine would have been justified!)

Yay! Another thing of the list - two things actually because I'm certain I have the right replacement shoes for me too!

Drove down to Mum's this morning, picked her up and drove over to Jacquie's, and from there the three of us and Jac's two daughters headed over to the Trafford Centre.

It turned out to be a really easy shopping trip - and surprisingly quick too!

First off, Debenhams. The first dresses we saw for child bridesmaids looked just about perfect. Little ivory dresses with chiffon type fabric over the skirt and little flowers embroidered on the top. This means that they are the same ivory as my dress, and have some green included too which makes them ideal. And they had Caitlin & Mia's sizes too. The girls tried them on, with co-ordinating shoes, and looked brilliant! We looked at others, but none of them came close so we had them put aside and moved onto the next shop.

Monsoon had a sale on, and we were hopeful, but nothing was quite right. They had plen…

It's that time of year again! Jack and Tom have been preparing for their grading since September. Jack is used to the whole process now, but for Tom it was the first time. This time we were taking Jack's friend Rory with us - he goes to a different school but does jujitsu with the same club.

Tom was trying for his first belt which is white. Rory was going for orange, and Jack was going for blue.

As usual parents can't stay to watch, so after dropping the three of them off I went for a wander to get some steps in for my own fitness (and a coffee and mince pie) with Freddie. In the freezing cold and bitter wind of Morecambe in December! Lucky old Hubby and Georgie stayed at home in the warm! Freddie didn't rate it at all - if he wasn't still 100% a boobie baby I wouldn't have dragged him out in it and left him home in the warm too.

When I got back to the school and queued up to get in and watch the belts be awarded I wound up chatting with another mum. We got on…
